Fettigrew Hall Description

The house was built around the 14th and 15th centuries. It is a half timbered house, meaning that it is built of wood with plaster sections between the wooden beams. The three stories are all half timbered, and the house has no particular shape. It looks like a hodge podge of rooms added on a whim. The bottom half of the house has close studding, meaning that the studs run vertically close together. The top two floors have decorative trim with a combination of circles and diamonds forming a design across the outside walls. The third floor has a wing with a continuous row of mullioned windows evenly spaced all the way around it. This is a solar.

There is a large yard in front of the house which is very over grown. There is still most of a very tall wall which connects to a gatehouse in the middle. This was in the same style and period as the house. At the front of it, it has a large wooden gate for carts but also a smaller pedestrian door inside the larger gate. The gatehouse was two stories, the top floor being enclosed and large enough to be a little house. Perhaps it was housing for a servant at one time. There is a door inside the passageway which leads to the apartment above. There was also an outside chimney running up one side of it.
